School Therapeutic Services

Progressions offers School Therapeutic Services (STS) in select Philadelphia public schools. Eligible students are in grades K through 8 who have a behavioral health diagnosis that impacts their performance in school. This program is funded under Medical Assistance.

What does this program offer?

Our STS staff provides comprehensive therapeutic interventions that are closely coordinated with the school staff. Our program consists of a team of behavioral health professionals who are based within the school, providing treatment to students who have been assigned to the program. STS provides a flexible delivery of services based upon need.

The STS team consists of the following specialists:

• The Lead Clinician (LC) designs behavioral interventions in collaboration with the treatment team, school staff, and family. The LC provides family liaison and treatment planning, linkage with other service providers, case consultation, supervision and implementation of the care plan, and individual treatment and crisis intervention.

• The Group Mobile Therapist conducts group therapy to process issues such as anger management, self-esteem, negative peer pressure and coping techniques.
